Olivia The Band

An unapologetically Christian-themed pop-punk band hailing from the north shore of Oahu that claims the frequently nude and even more frequently rude blink-182 as their primary musical influence might seem highly unlikely, but that's a fair capsule description of Hawaii-bred, Southern California-based Olivia the Band. Olivia the Band consists of singer, lyricist, and bassist Reed Cromwell, lead guitarist Justin Abilla, rhythm guitarist Gabe Watts, and drummer Christian Perreira, childhood friends from Hawaii who formed the group in 1995 while still in high school. Taking their name in honor of Abilla's sister who had died in infancy, Olivia the Band relocated from Hawaii to San Diego, CA, after graduating and signed with the Christian label Provident Records. Debut album Olivia the Band was released in 2005, followed in 2006 by Back to Friends Where Summer Never Ends. Olivia the Band's third album, Where We Come from It Never Snows, was released in early 2008. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi

This freaked me out. This isn't fake. Apparently, if you copy an paste this on ten comments in ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either be kissed or asked out. If you break the chain, you will see a little girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I'm sorry.

After going to church with these guys at NSCF and personally hanging out at Wahiawa it was such a relief to see a Pandora station for them! I'm so happy to have one of the hand full of shirts Reed, Susan, and the band made for one of their concerts. Still my all time favorite band. North Shore for life.

pop punk aint so bad- when God is the subject, it all seems much better than i ever thought it could be. I am a former punker (the non-christian kind) and had no idea guys like me could get their fix of hard, fast, melodic punk and not have to hear all the garbage!

these guys popped up on my station my first impulse was to skip the song but its not bad at all for fisher price punk. its good to see the influx of openly christian bands makin really really good music. kudos guys.
